As we make preparations for Hurricane Irma, the safety and security of our customers and staff are of the highest priority. We will be closing as dictated by conditions as well as state and local authorities.

We will re-open as quickly as possible following the storm. Please check our Facebook page for updates or our website for specific details.

Please take all necessary precautions to stay safe. We look forward to serve you once again after the storm has passed.

Diethylstilbestrol EIA

Diethylstilbestrol (DES), together with dienestrol and hexestrol belongs to the group of stilbenes. Increased weight gain and improved feed conversion after administration of DES has been observed in cattle, chicken and lambs. However, in the EC the use of anabolics has been banned, and especially DES has been banned in all countries due to its carcinogenic properties. The DES-EIA can be used for the screening of biological samples for the presence of the following stilbenes (% of cross-reactivity): diethylstilbestrol (100%), hexestrol (25%) and dienestrol (15%). The DES-EIA shows no cross-reactivity (< 0.1%) for zeranol, 19-nortestosterone, progesterone, cortisol and testosterone. Detection limits as low as 0.5 ng/ml can be reached in urine samples.
